Thread: in search of a good buffer

I bought the variable speed 6" at sears that runs form 1750-3400. I like it, but I agree with the people above, if you can afford the Baldor get it, becuase the sears is a PITA to change wheel when you want to use greaseless, plus you have to clean out after each use with the greaseless. I like the exposed wheels, but you do need both the low and high speed so the combo isn't bad. As Mr. Brown said Northern tool has some good buffers. My father and I have used their pressure washers commercially for years and bought many tools for tractors and mowers and have never had any trouble with their equipment.
This is only an opinion, I just couldn't afford the Baldor either so I bought my grinder at sears and put buffing wheels on it.

as the baldor looks really nice i just cant see lying 500 bones down for one, the jett on the other hand looks good also, with a 5 year warranty and a place to fix it in st loius i may have to go with this option.

I have this one from Grizzly. Obviously, I use buffing wheels instead of the sanding drums shown. Very quiet, and it works great.
